✨Daemonism Week: Day 2✨

Some headcanons!

Touch ID! Phones can regongise a dæmon’s paw print or maybe a feather print or just their skin in general as well as yours, so that if you’re in an emergency your dæ can unlock your phone for you! (Also would probably end up with you finding a lot of selfies your dæ took whilst you were looking away from your phone)

Playgrounds! Playgrounds having special adaptations so dæmons of all shapes and sizes can play with their humans. Would probably include more open spaces for bigger dæs and not having climbing frames that are so narrow and closed in, whilst also having places where children with smaller dæs can hide out and feel protected and closed in. Also the playgrounds would probably be bigger in general for kids with bigger dæmons and if the people caring for them have bigger dæs

Sleepovers with your dæ! Kids and teens staying up late with their dæmons and nicking sweets from the cupboards. Watching scary films on their phone and comforting eachother when it gets scary (and trying not to be too loud and wake up parents).

Feel free to add more! Like seriously, add more we are obsessed with modern dæmon headcanons 😂

Low Tides

We're in a period of our lives right now where our daemon isn't talking as much, isn't present as much. She's still there, but further back. So we take a moment today to express that... these moments are okay and normal to have.

People who don't have a daemon aren't expected to be connected with their inner selves all of the time. People who aren't daemons aren't expected to be aware of themselves and project themselves into the world and provide and inner dialogue 100% of the time.

If you are like us right now, in a time when your daemon isn't as present as they used to. You're okay. You're fine.

Perhaps other interesting things are capturing your attention, like a new hobby or series. Perhaps you're more tired than usual. Perhaps a situation at work or school or in your family or in your country is taking all of your mental energy. Perhaps other aspects of your inner self require more attention right now. Perhaps you don't really have an explanation as to why. You're not a bad daemian. You're not a bad daemon. It's okay to feel sad or miss each other. We miss each other. Sometimes we yearn for a world like Lyra's where we could see, hear and hold each other without needing any brain power.

In case you want a few ideas of small things you can do in these times that don't require too much effort, here are a few things you can try:

Say good morning when you wake up, and good night before bed

Try to do projection for just a moment, like taking a picture, but don't strain to maintain it and don't aim for details

Have an image, small figurine or item that reminds you of your daemon and place it somewhere you will see it regularly

Say a little something to your daemon from time to time without expecting a response or a conversation to come out of it

Sending warm thoughts to any other daemians and daemons who are going through a similar time.

Being a Witch IS Political

Witchcraft and spirituality are inherently political. To embrace these paths without acknowledging their history and ongoing struggles is to reduce them to mere aesthetics. True witches—and spiritual practitioners—understand that the essence of these practices is rooted in resistance, justice, and transformation.

Historically, witches were the wise women and healers of their communities. They tended to the sick, midwifed births, and served as the keepers of ancient knowledge. Their craft connected them deeply to nature, the cycles of life, and the unseen forces that govern our world. These practices often placed them on the fringes of society, not because they were wrong or dangerous, but because their power defied the status quo.

These women (and men) were political figures simply by existing. They challenged patriarchal systems, capitalist greed, and authoritarian control. When they provided herbal remedies or midwifed safely outside the church's purview, they defied institutions that sought to monopolize power over life and death.

The witch trials of history were political acts, targeting those who threatened established hierarchies. Witches were scapegoated for plagues, famines, and dissent, often accused because they stood up for their communities, demanded justice, or refused to conform to societal expectations.

Even today, to identify as a witch or spiritual practitioner is to take a stand. It is to honor the marginalized, to value the Earth over profit, and to seek balance in a world obsessed with domination. It is to embrace healing, not only for ourselves but for others and the planet—a deeply political act in a culture that prioritizes profit and power over people and ecosystems.

Being a witch means advocating for what is right, even at risk to our comfort or safety. It means standing against oppression, environmental destruction, and systemic injustice. To claim this path is to reclaim the legacy of those who came before us—the wise women, healers, and rebels who walked this path at great personal cost.

If you are drawn to witchcraft, spirituality, or paganism, understand that this is more than crystals and candles. It is a call to action, a commitment to live authentically and fight for a better world. Anything less is a disservice to the courageous souls who paved the way for us.

Inconsistencies I Noticed that kind of Pissed Me Off in CAOS:

This isn’t mean to bash the show, I fucking love it sm. I just felt like the third season took a turn in the wrong direction and these were the main reasons why:

How is Circe a part of the pagan group when they called on her in Theo’s uncle’s exorcism as one of the great witches of the past?

How did they kill Pan if he’s a god? Sure, maybe he wasn’t as strong as God or Satan, but he was still a god.

Who the fuck is the Green Man supposed to be? In Greek mythology, Gaea was the earth goddess, so I’m guessing they took it from Egyptian mythology where the earth god is Geb. But it’s never actually clarified.

What does a hobgoblin have to do with a pagan group? I don’t remember anywhere in Greek mythology where a hobgoblin in mentioned. I kept trying to guess which Greek god Robin was, so I was really disappointed.

How can the coven now worship Hecate if she’s a Greek goddess and they literally just annihilated a bunch of Greek worshippers?

Who the fuck is Caliban? When I looked him up, he was from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, the son of the witch Sycorax. Which then brings me to my next question,

If Caliban is the character from Shakespeare and is the son of Sycorax, why didn’t they point out the relation when Sycorax showed up to the academy with the other hedge witches?

y'all know I’m a sucker for modern aus, also known as “dæmons in our here and now”

taking a photo of your dæmon falls in the same category as a selfie (dæfie? seldæfie?) but most people prefer taking selfies WITH their dæmons instead of individually, unless the situation calls for it like your cockatoo-dæmon hanging upside down somewhere or your elephant-dæmon looking so aesthetic against the sunset

y’know in snapchat how you have to customise a bitmoji to look like you and stuff? doing the same with your dæmon! of course those that are settled have it easier since there’s only one form they have to customise. unsettled will have to make an extra effort and customise every form their dæmon takes to add it on the sticker.

add more, come on!!
